Setup:
Huawei ONT
TP-Link WDR4300 (450Mbps@5GHz) router
TP-Link WDN4800 (450Mbps@5GHz) PCIE card
Channel: Auto (note: my WLAN is the only 5GHz network in the vicinity)
Width: Auto (note: normally 40MHz since there is no interference)
Security: WPA2-PSK (AES)

Looks like I have hit some kind of wall (literally and figuratively). I am having a very hard time breaking the 80Mbps barrier for both download and upload, although I have come close.

I don't think there is a problem with the fiber connection upstream. When the technician came to install the ONT (on a Monday morning), I plugged in my laptop to test the connection before he left. I actually managed to hit 101Mbps down and 98Mbps up. Maybe it was because it was off-peak, but a 20Mbps shortfall is quite significant. I will plug in my laptop directly to the ONT and test again tonight, but I doubt it is the bottleneck.

Using inSSIDer, I find that my signal is around -78dB and the nearest neighbor is around -86dB. Not very good in my view. I am thinking of either relocating my router or elevating it for better reception. Both involves buying a longer fiber optic patch cable and building some kind of small rack for the router. It's hammer time, I guess? Would that help?

Any other advice from the seniors here?

if u want to preserve ur current setup. then do this lor.

white ont ->RG->own router->PCs/Notebooks/Handphones.....etcs
RG->telephone for voice


White ONT > ??? > Wireless N device

If i want to buy a better N router on my White ONT (Huawei) which one is better to get and compatible? Cisco?

Generally if the above configuration what is the best speed most people will get on Wireless N Device

The black ONT is essentially the White ONT + RG integrated.

You can connect your router directly to the back ONT and still use the voice service.

If you have a white ONT and want voice service, must have RG.

White ONT without voice service connect straight to router (this is my setup)

RG stands for Residential Gateway.

M1 now only issue the black ONT.

The black ONT is without the wireless, purely a "modem".
Is better that way, you can use your own preferred router. (Pls buy a good one)

The black ONT is not a newer model, cause the old one is obsolete.
It is because it using the M1 infrastructure on the backend.
The earlier batch of users is given the white ONT from NC (Nucleus Connect). That is before M1 setup their own Op-Co. I believe they will switch their existing users on white ONT gradually.

TQ they said they are unable to change unless they terminate my services and re-enabled again .. and early termination charges are involve... not much of an option unless i do not want the RG service

thanks

yep .. as the only way to do it is to terminate your account and reactivate so they can give the black ont.... also early termination fees applies...

using own router is possible on white ont but looses your RG and $2/mth rental router from them as you need to return
